Selection Techniques and Tips for Beginner Wedding Photographer
A lot of questions from beginners wedding photographers, who do not know from what side to approach the technology choice for shooting or just for a loved one. As a photographer that took this path, only to immediately start with a decent lens, say - the most precious thing - this lens, it will last you for several years, the camera itself is a professional photographer for about a year, two, well, a maximum of three years. You can started with the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 - this is definitely the best lens, but the life he had about a year, well, can a half. He is sharp at f3.2, which is quite important for wedding photography in dark rooms. Attention also is worthy lens SIGMA AF 24-70 f/2.8 therefore immediately say - the dark lens f3.5-5.6 or f4 definitely not take. A? If only …. So! They wanted advice from the pros … DO NOT TAKE!
Camera.
Since I’m shooting for CANON, then I will talk about it, Nikon just good technique, there is a photographer who shoots for Sony.
Select a carcass, we would have loved for themselves that cheap, but better. This never happens.
I shoot at the moment canon 5d, through my hands passed Minolta A1, canon 350d, 30d, 5d. The main thing - it is a matrix and lens. So, buying a home fotapparat (level 350, 400, 450 …), you’re buying a matrix that is better than a bar of soap, on the order, but do not expect to get quality wedding photos (halftones, noise, etc. ) level 30Di much less 5D. The minimum level at which you should pay attention to the photographer, and as such you yourself want to take a 30D, 40D, 50D, and better 5D. For a favorite holiday using 350D and whale 3,5-5,6 - break or lose, well, well, acceptable.
Why do not you get good advice from a pro photographer - because photographers are not professionally interested in all-all lenses, which produce for its technology. He is studying a technique that interests him. The task of the photographer - shoot. Garazd more useful can be found at specialized sites or go to the blog, if it leads photographer.
Lens for wedding photography.
The question: “Which do I choose a lens for $ 300 for photographing weddings, 28-105 canon or 24-70 sigma”. The usual response of the photographer: “I do not know.” Why? You’re a pro? You should know all about the photo? Because the photographer does not know about all the lenses, he was a photographer - our task is to shoot beautiful, it does not sell and does not compare round the clock, he chose for himself lenses and use them, he was not interested lenses amateur, he did not know which of them better draws, he does not know their shortcomings and advantages.
Lens Type
Skip level of technology and move on to another question, which lens for photographing weddings, why is the wedding?. I am a wedding photographer and the subject is close to me. Zakharov (14mm, 24mm, 35 ….) or telephoto (85mm, 100mm, 135 …) to buy? Dear novice photographer, the lens is right for you as a photographer depends on your style of shooting. Televik I like to say it again - me! But I like photos taken Shirikov or no fish lenses at a wedding, like any survey, it all depends on you as a photographer, what you see and how you want to remove the bride and groom.
Only shooting, you will understand what a set of equipment you need and get it out of you a professional photographer. Shoot you! A fotoaparat - only a tool in your hands.
